Walker Wins His First, Zacharias, Eastman, Morse, Lohmeyer, and Pierce also Grab Wins at Thunder Mountain
CENTER LISLE, NY – The weather gods were finally on the same page with Thunder Mountain Speedway on Saturday night as only the fourth racing weekend of the season was completed. Shaun Walker was the winner in the Dirt Track Digest TV Modified feature for the first time this season. Jimmy Zacharias topped the DIRTcar 358 Modifieds, with Will Eastman invading to win the DIRTcar Sportsman. Mike Morse captured the Factory Stock feature, while Charles Lohmeyer found victory lane in the 600 Modifieds. Kyle Pierce dominated the 600 Sprints to take the checkered flag.
Shaun Walker was able to seal the deal Saturday night. Walker hadn’t been to victory lane at the speedway in several years, but he was up to the task on this night.
Walker started from the pole and received constant challenges from Brandon Walters throughout the opening laps of the race. Walker led while Walters applied steady pressure to his No. 21.
Walker kept up the pace with Walters challenging as the race reached halfway, with Matt Smith, a multi-time winner, also joining the fray for the race lead.
On lap 21, Walker, Walters, and Smith went three-wide for the lead, with Smith spinning in turns three and four to bring out the yellow.
On the restart, Walker jumped back out front while Darren Smith made his way into the mix for the race lead. Darren chased Walker over the final handful of laps as the leaders reached traffic.
At the conclusion, it was Walker taking home the victory over Darren, who started 12th. Walters ended up third, while Tommy Collins drove all the way from 17th to fourth. Alan Barker blasted the top side from 20th to finish fifth.
Jimmy Zacharias drove to victory in the 30-lap DIRTcar 358 Modified feature after taking the lead on lap three from early race leader Rod Watts. Starting from the pole, Zacharias quickly settled into rhythm and powered to the checkered flag for the win. Matt Smith crossed the line in second after starting third, while Joshua Landers made a strong run from seventh to finish third. Jordan McCreadie brought home a fourth-place finish, with Watts rounding out the top five after leading the opening laps.
Will Eastman powered to victory in the 25-lap DIRTcar Sportsman Modified feature, charging from the third starting spot to claim the win. Eastman took the lead on a lap 18 restart from pole-sitter Jacob Waibel, who finished second, while Sullivan Dickey completed the podium after starting alongside Waibel on the front row. Jared Green made one of the biggest moves of the race, advancing seven positions from 11th to finish fourth, with Cody Jackson rounding out the top five after starting seventh.
Mike Morse charged to the front in the 20-lap Factory Stocks Feature 1, taking the lead on lap six en route to the victory after starting third. Pole-sitter Brian Rhodes led the early going before settling for second at the checkered flag, while Jerry Lobdell Jr. advanced from fifth to finish third. Jason Rhodes brought home a fourth-place finish after starting on the front row, and Lukas Mills made an impressive run from ninth to complete the top five.
Charles Lohmeyer scored the victory in the 20-lap 600cc Modified main-event after reclaiming the top spot late in the race. Brandon Loucks mounted a strong charge and used lapped traffic to take the lead on lap 16, but Lohmeyer battled back to regain control and secure the win from the pole position. Loucks settled for second, while Tom Donahue advanced from fifth to finish third. Talan Oliver crossed the line fourth, with Dustin Zimmer rounding out the top five.
Kyle Pierce raced to victory in the 20-lap 600cc Sprints feature, taking command on lap three after passing early leader Mary Earley. Starting third, Pierce quickly worked his way to the front and never looked back on his way to the checkered flag. Zach Bobbett made an impressive charge from 10th to finish second, while pole-sitter Earley held on for third. Casey Williams finished fourth, with Wayne Stella Jr. advancing from eighth to complete the top five.
